Entry updated 13 October 2025. Of greater interest, however, is the Andrea Cort sequence whose first volume, Emissaries from the Dead (2008), won the Philip K Dick Award in 2008; it is set in Zoo-like Keeps in a manufactured ecosystem ruled by Aliens with life-and-death control over the various Genetically Engineered races under observation.
Vossoff and Nummitz: Just a Couple of Idiots Reupholstering Space and Time (coll 2002) knowledgeably presents a series of tales in the Dumb-and-Dumber tradition made explicit in its subtitle. His 26 books to date include four Spider-Man novels, 3 novels about his profoundly damaged far-future murder investigator Andrea Cort, and 6 middle-grade novels about the dimension-spanning adventures of young Gustav Gloom.
The finale appeared in August 2016. Castro also had some impact for his Spider-ManTies, beginning with Spider-Man: The Gathering of the Sinister Six (1999).
He lives in Florida with his wife Judi and either three or four cats, depending on what day you're counting and whether Gilbert's escaped this week.

(1960- ) US author who began publishing work of genre interest with "Clearance to Land" for Pulphouse: The Hardback Magazine #5, Fall 1989, and much of whose subsequent work for some years was Horror, though he has published Print On Demand collections which include sf, and Tangled Strings (coll 2004), which incorporates two tales from his AIsource InfectionFuture History sequence.
The penultimate installment in the series, Gustav Gloom and the Inn of Shadows (Grosset and Dunlap) came out in August 2015. Adam's works have won the Philip K.

Adam's darker short fiction for grownups is highlighted by his most recent collection, Her Husband's Hands And Other Stories (Prime Books).
